I took micro dose LSD to treat my migraine (it worked) and found it also helped with my orthostatic intolerance/POTS. POTS is when you can’t adapt quickly enough to changes in blood pressure.
I think my POTS was actually a symptom of something else: metabolic acidosis. But it was metabolic acidosis “inside” alkalosis—meaning my metabolic rate was too acidic, but my terrain was too alkaline.
By taking a tiny dose of LSD, I changed the pH of my brain. When I change the pH of my brain, I change my core metabolic rate. In these models, the metabolic rate and the pH together “net” pH7.
If I am in generating too much acid via metabolism, it looks as if I can’t slow down unless I first make the terrain less alkaline. But by slowing down, I make the terrain less alkaline. The terrain only looks too alkaline when the brain is too acidic.
If I am generating too little acid via metabolism, it looks as if I can’t speed up unless I first make the terrain less acidic. But by speeding up, I make the terrain less acidic. The terrain only looks too acidic when the observer (the brain) is too alkaline.
In other words, when it appears as if my terrain is too acidic, maybe the real problem is that my brain is too alkaline.
